HP’s CTO on webOS printers

Call it strange, call it weird, call it whatever – but it looks like HP’s printers are on the way to becoming “workstations” of their own.

Mobile Business Briefing now reports the following:

Hewlett-Packard (HP) has outlined plans to use its recently-acquired webOS platform to power a whole range of devices beyond smartphones, including printers. “This isn’t strictly focused on the tablet,” Shane Robison, HP’s chief strategy and technology officer, told Reuters this week. “We’re going to have printers, even some printers that have detachable, smaller slate devices on them.”

As of this writing, not much more is known – stay tuned for further info as we get it!
